S. SH. 



S alternates throughout with sh. Some words are more frequently pro- 

 nounced with initial s than with sh, and these I have written with s, although 

 both were made to form only one alphabetic series. In the conversational 

 form of language s prevails over sh before vocalic sounds as well as before

 S-, sh- forms medial and a few reflective and reciprocal verbs, as well as a 

 number of compound prefixes, like shl-, slm-, etc.
